Thanks, BearsFan PHX and Stinger226. I’ve been with Talkbears for so long, perhaps since Talkbears and Soxtalk branched out. I just never registered before. It’s sad to read on X, formerly called Twitter, about how dry the market has been for Justin Fields. We might not even getting 2nd or 3rd round for him! Another great thing with picking up Caleb is the restarting of the rookie contract. Imagine getting all that talent in Caleb for four years and the optional fifth year.

I’ve never been so pumped and excited about having a quarterback the caliber of Caleb Williams since the Super Bowl Shuffle - 46 quarterbacks since then. I was happy about Justin Fields when we moved up to get him. I truly thought we have our “It” quarterback. Now, three years later, Fields is not “It.” He doesn’t have the vision of a quarterback. Picking Williams on the first pick will turn around the Chicago Bears’ misfortune of having bad to mediocre to good quarterbacks. Finally, we’ll have an “It” quarterback.

If we go back and look at the USC games, you would find that even though Caleb was scrambling to avoid being sacked, his eyes were still looking down the field; that’s quarterback vision. Fields was just scrambling and not looking down the field. I went to a game at Soldier Field when Fields was being rushed by the defense. As customed, he scrambled and did not even see a wide-opened wide receiver to his left. The Bears could have an easy first down on that play. Fields is athletic, and other teams would love to have him. If the Commanders pick Maye, then we should trade with the Patriots to get MHJ. We would be set as a powerful offense for years.

I think Pole will start fresh. When you have a “perhaps” generational quarterback in front of you and you have that draft pick and you don’t pick him, what would happen if Fields continues his short-vision quarterbacking and Caleb turns out to be like Strouds this year or even better? If I’m Pole, I will start fresh. Boomer Esiason came out and said that he would feel very surprised should the Bears do not pick Caleb. The multi-talented quarterback is right in front of you whom you do not pick! And if he turns out to be generational, gosh, how would Bears fans feel! Ricky Spielman, the former Vikings GM will even pick Caleb over Peyton Manning for the reason of athleticism. Both have a great sense as pocket passer, but Caleb is much more athletic than Peyton, fluently avoiding defensive players. There was one play when the play was broken, and Caleb was trying to run upward. A defensive player went straight at him, and Caleb turned 360 to his right avoiding the defensive player and continued his forwarding motion to gain the first down. That move truly reminded me of Barry Sanders, and this 360 move was coming from a quarterback! Would you imagine if the Portland Trailblazers agreed to trade with the Bulls and gotten Michael Jordan while the Bulls got stuck with Sam Bowie! Nagy is an offensive coordinator of KS, and Mahomes was still playing great! It is what it is. If I am Pole, I have no doubt to start fresh and pick Caleb. Then do the Adam trade to get MHJ.

Hi guys, long time lurker and 1st-time poster. This is how I feel about this draft. When Flus and Getsy came, Fields and other players were already there from the previous regime. Now that Flus is kept and Getsy along with his offensive staff were let go, this is how I feel. 1. Give Flus his new players so he could teach them to believe in his playing philosophy, which mean we should trade Fields. 2. Draft Caleb Williams as our #1 pick. I’ve watched many USC games, and in conclusion, CW does possess a quarterback vision. Fields lacks behind in this category. When we drafted Fields three years ago, I was elated; but three years later, I could see that Fields’ vision is short. Peoples kept on saying it was due to Getsy’s game plans, but I don’t think do. Sure, there’s a part of it due to Getsy’s plan, but others due to Fields’ lack of a quarterback vision. 3. Trade up to #2 by our #9 pick, 2024 2nd rd pick, 2025 2nd rd pick, and Justin Fields. Here, we draft Marvin Harrison, Jr. With Caleb a quarterback and DJ and MHJ wide receivers, we will win a lot of games. We might even go to the playoff next year. Three years already with disappointment, I just don’t want to go through another year finding excuses for Fields!
